Hollywood star Angelina Jolie said on Tuesday that a global summit to end s*xual violence in wars must send the message that there is "no disgrace" in being a r*pe survivor and that "the shame is on the aggressor". British Foreign Secretary William Hague said
at the opening of the four-day conference in London that it was only a "weak or inadequate man" that abuses women - a statement that drew cheers from the crowd. The conference is the fruit of a two-year campaign by UN special envoy Ms Jolie and Mr Hague, who have visited the Democratic Republic of Congo and Bosnia to meet victims of r*pe during wars. In her opening remarks to the End S*xual Violence in Conflict summit, Ms Jolie said she and Mr Hague had met a woman in Bosnia who was still too ashamed to tell her son that she had been r*ped.
